Why is CASE different from other curriculum resources?

CASE offers a logical sequence of courses to promote a core set of concepts that every AFNR student should know and understand regarding four pathways of AFNR.

CASE provides professional development to teachers for each specific course to ensure they have the background and expertise to utilize CASE curriculum resources.

CASE provides AFNR National Assessment Exams to allow programs to compare student performance within their state and across the country.

CASE, unlike other curriculum resources, provides detailed resources for teaching hands-on laboratory exercises rather than leaving it to the teacher to create instructional aides.

CASE is NOT a collective set of random laboratory exercises. Rather CASE is purposely designed to spiral student-learning experiences throughout the entire course.

CASE is a comprehensive set of all instructional materials required to teach a full year of courses.

CASEis student-directed and inquiry-based.

CASEis a carefully designed curriculum that is built starting with the assessment elements and then crafting the learning experiences around the desired outcomes.

CASEis aligned with national AFNR, science, mathematics, and English language arts standards for every lesson.

Science and mathematics are not “included” inCASEcurriculum, rather science and mathematics are purposely and properly taught to provide true integration of core-academics.CASEdoes NOT assume students should know how to perform a science skill or mathematical operation – these are purposely taught within the context of AFNR.
